In the Islamic religion Muslim men have different dress codes and different guidlines than the Muslim women. I will share with you some of these differences. In a muslim household the man is the dominant leader in prayer. Muslims pray in their household every other day, otherwise men are separated from women and children during prayer sessions.
The responsibility roles change right as the boy hits the age of puberty. When he reaches this age he becomes responsible for performing all prayers. Also it becomes manditory for the man to participate in fasting. They also have to perform prayers of the Hajj, but not until he is physically and finnancially ready for taking this role.
People mainly think that its the women that have a dress code that is forced upon them in the Islamic religion, but the men have one as well. The men are required to cover from their bellybutton to their knees. Also they are forbidden from wearing any type of gold jewlery, slik garmets, or anything that is dyed red or yellow from saffron.
In the book Persepolis, you can clearly tell that her father is the head of the household. I think this because of the way he talks and the way Marji and her mother act towards him. You can pretty well handedly tell that the respect him and think of him as the household leader as well. Also its a little difficult to tell if he is following the dress code because the book is not printed in color and we rarly see him outside his house. But I do believe that he follows the Islmaic dress code because Marji wears the veil when she leaves the house.
These are Muslim men praying all together.
This is what some men wear.
You can see here that Marjis father dresses in the more modern day clothes.
This image somewhat shows how some men dressed in the book.
This is how them fundamentalist men differ from the modern day men.
